Utena? What's wrong?

Michiru || Unhackable thegirlprince September 24 2008, 14:31:25 UTC

I...

I feel awful, Michiru.

Utena || Unhackable actingelegantly September 24 2008, 14:43:07 UTC

Utena....

Do you want to talk somewhere?

Michiru || Unhackable thegirlprince September 24 2008, 14:45:17 UTC

I.. guess so.

Yes.

Utena || Unhackable actingelegantly September 24 2008, 14:58:57 UTC

Alright. Meet me in Xanadu... This will hurt us both a little

The girl prince rounded the corner and tentatively entered the gardens. Her mind briefly flashed back to the first time they met here. She could almost see the pair of them sitting on the bench sealing their pact with a kiss. She shook her head, clearing her thoughts and took steps closer. Her handsome face was set carefully neutral, an expression she hardly ever used. Hands were stuffed in her pockets.

It wasn't long before Michiru arrived, dressed in feminine clothing this time. Nothing very fancy, just a simple, elegant blouse and skirt. Her expression was carefully reined in as well, though the slightly knitted brows hinted at tangled thoughts and feelings.

She sighed as she approached and managed to smile at the pink haired girl softly, her hands twined together before her.
"I didn't think I'll need to be as well disguised today."

"Or ever again.. for my sake.. I think."

Her voice was quiet, and she met Michiru's eyes sadly. No matter how horribly she felt, now that she was faced with the beautiful girl she couldn't help but wish this didn't have to happen. In fact, she would give almost anything to prevent this from happening. But it wouldn't be fair to any of them.

Even having been prepared for it, having made the same decision herself... even knowing what Utena's intentions were the moment she saw the post, the words still hurt.
Or ever again..

She flinched a touch, as if the blow had been physical, and closed her eyes for a brief moment to hide the hurt. When she opened them again, she looked remarkably neutral, though it almost seemed as if shadows had settled into her eyes. She nodded.

"For everyone..."

Utena's eyes immediately dropped to the ground, chin lowering as her fists clenched in her pockets. It hurt a lot more than she expected it would. She didn't want this. Well.. she did but she didn't. Why couldn't they just...?

She frowned. But she had to do this. For Himemiya... who hadn't done anything wrong.

"Hai. ...Gomen nasai, Michi...ru."

Michiru shook her head softly, and a bit of a kind, knowing look broke her neutral mask "It's who you are, isn't it? You aren't the type of person who can just ignore it when people you know are hurting."

Action! thegirlprince September 24 2008, 16:54:37 UTC

"I've already hurt her.." her voice was troubled. "And you. And your family."

Utena shook her head, all of her inner-conflict rushing to the surface before she could rein it in and control it. She paced away from Michiru and back and then away again. When she spoke this time, her voice was fervent. Impassioned. It even cracked a bit.

"Gomen nasai, Michiru. Honto-ni gomen nasai!"

Action! actingelegantly September 24 2008, 17:07:39 UTC

Utena's actions drew the senshi of the sea from the beginings of a mental self-slandering. She stared, looking concerned, sad, and a touch confused all at once.

She forced a firm tone to her voice as she stepped towards the girl prince, looking into those beautiful blue eyes.

"You don't have to apologize. You offered to stop this much earlier, didn't you? You were strong enough to take the first step forward to ending it as well. I won't accept an apology for that strength."

Action! thegirlprince September 24 2008, 17:13:02 UTC

"But..."

Utena had stopped in her pacing and stared at the space in between them. She couldn't bring herself to meet Michiru's eyes. It would crack her resolve, she knew it. They'd been in a similar situation before, and neither of them had wanted to end it. She had a feeling Michiru would keep her resolution this time, but she didn't trust herself to do the same.

Her shoulders deflated. She found the wind completely taken out of her sails.

"Does it hurt for you, too.. Michiru?"

Action! actingelegantly September 25 2008, 03:41:56 UTC

Michiru was silent for a while, her lips held tightly pressed together, brows furrowed, shoulders tensed. She sighed softly, trying her best to remain firm on this. But...

"Of course... but it is pain I deserve to bear. My partner... is truly trying to help. I can't just give up..."

Action! thegirlprince September 25 2008, 03:48:35 UTC

"Of course not," she answered. "And Himemiya is.. finally free.."

Still this wasn't as easy as she wanted it to be. Even faced with the very real and immediate possibility that she could finally be with Himemiya, she didn't want to just let Michiru go. The girl had come to mean something.. really mean something to the prince.

"I wish.." she began, then paused as she searched for the right words. "I... I find that everything I had planned to say to you I've forgotten. What's left in my head and my heart won't come out with the right words."
